I just wanted to know about best practices to validate components that are used as part of a form but that are not IFormComponent (something that happen pretty often in our code).
e.g. we have a "LegalId" component made by a select box where you choose the type of id you are inserting plus an input field with the actual legal id alphanumeric code (we use tapestry IFormComponent for these two fields). As we have to validate differently the input field depending on the select value, validation must happen at LegalId component level so we can't use validators/translators; the way we go is this: 1) inject the IValidationDelegate as a bean in the legalid component 2) use the validationdelegate to record validation errors on rewind in pageEndRenderer, at this point, on a form submit, the rewind process will have set all form properties and we'll be able to use all these properties to make component level validation. It seems it's working but it took us some time to get to this method, it seems strange to me that there isn't a more "standard" way to do this nor that there isn't any documentation about it. Any suggestion? Thanks. Martino
